| Abstract |
We examine the effects of familial longevity and familial mortality on mortality rates for 10 leading causes of death in a Utah Population Database (UPDB) cohort. Familial excess longevity (FEL) and familial standardized mortality ratios (FSMR) were estimated for 666,921 individuals born from 1830 through 1963, who survived to at least age 40. Cox regression analysis shows that familial death and familial longevity have independent effects on cause-specific mortality rates for 10 leading causes of death. A family history of disease increases one's risk of dying from the same cause, whereas a family history of longevity is protective, except in the case of cancer. Families with greater longevity do not die of causes distinct from other members of the cohort, but they die from the same causes at reduced rates. Individuals from longer lived families have lower mortality from most age-related diseases including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, but not cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 April 2014.
All research outputs
#14,277,392
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences & Medical Sciences
#2,509
of 3,968 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,554
of 76,007 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences & Medical Sciences
#20
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,968 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.2. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 76,007 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
